Western states will not be able to achieve Russia's international isolation in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis, Head of the State Duma Committee for International Affairs, Alexei Pushkov said.

"It seems to me that all talks about the international isolation of Russia are not productive. It is impossible to isolate Russia," Pushkov told Interfax Sunday.

He stressed that there are other countries, besides those 28 states united in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

"And we have not heard that any statements were made by the overwhelming majority of countries, including the big ones – the leading countries – such as China, India and some others, over the decisions taken by Russia yesterday," Pushkov said. -- The Voice of Russia

"Mobilization ordered by Kiev is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate the Ukrainian population and Russians living in the Ukraine," says well-known Russian military expert Leonid Reshetnikov. In his opinion "Kiev will be in trouble mobilizing troops in the eastern and southern parts of the country, as for example, in the Crimea Ukrainian troops have already surrendered." In addition, the Russian military expert believes that "the Ukrainian army is very bad condition, regarding both equipment and morale except one or two small units".

While NATO leaders are jubilant over the Kiev coup, which they present to public opinion as a revolution, the situation is reversed in the field. Instead of government of thugs raising the stakes between Washington and Moscow, it is now up to U.S. agents to exercise power and manage the problems they have organized. Moreover the country is ruined and nobody whomsoever will succeed in bringing about a quick recovery. Russia can now defend its interests without incurring the liabilities from twenty years of earlier corruption......Disorders will therefore continue in Ukraine, but it will be for the hosers hosed - the United States and the European Union - to bear the weight. Besides the financial burden, how will they manage their victorious Nazi and jihadists allies? Washington’s show of force is turning into a fiasco.
